Front cover: DJ Shadow: "The late 1980s and early '90s saw the dawn of a new day as sampling was at a high point with hip-hop's golden era. Following in the footsteps of Double Dee & Steinski, Prince Paul, and the Dust Brothers, DJ SHADOW would push the boundaries of sampling with his early Mo' Wax releases. His first full-length album, Endtroducing..., further shined a light on the art form, as the album exploded through popular culture and put the reluctant star in the spotlight." Back cover: David Axelrod: "Producer/composer DAVID AXELROD landed a dream job at Capitol Records in 1964, immediately working with jazz legend Cannonball Adderley and lifting soul singer Lou Rawls to great heights." Plus: Leon Sylvers III, DJ Krush, Cynthia Robinson, The Avalanches, Danny Holloway...
